NFL Division 1

[Fuzzman]

Rossie's should finally get some points on the table as Monaghan are a very poor side.
They struggled to score in the first half against Tyrone and then in the second half they did their usual self destruct as they overstepped the line again with lack of discipline. Tyrone completely took the foot of the gas then and emptied the bench keeping them at arms length.

Best to wear yer head guards lads and maybe two gumshields.

Cavan and Roscommon look doomed already. If Tyrone can beat Cavan next week we are in a strong position with three games to go. Incidentally our last three fixtures are:

Donegal away
Mayo at home
Kerry away

If we can beat Cavan and get three points from those last three fixtures we're bound to be in with a big shout for league final.

With the current perilous state of finances in Tyrone, all those McKenna cups must be melted for the silver by now and that would leave space in the cabinet for the league trophy to fit in with dignity.

I'd say the second spot would depend on the outcome of the Donegal v Tyrone game.
Even J70 must be hopping up  and down with optimistic anticipation at this stage.

Optimistic, yes.

But, its only March and its only the league. And we've only beaten Cavan and Roscommon (by a whisker in their case).

Tyrone game will be a big test for these young lads.

So Dublin are gone top while missing some of some their big guns. Joke of a division!!

[Jinxy]

Need a few Leinster teams in Division 1 to give them a rattle.
The rest of the country is terrified of them.

[Fuzzman]

They won't be top after next weekend and they still have to travel down to play Kerry who will be fighting for points to stay up.

They still have to play us.

At least they'll know where to go this time.

That "very poor side" beat both Mayo and Kerry, away from home. I wouldn't be holding my breath on the Rossies getting any change from them.

Correct and a very poor side wouldnt get within 4 points of Tyrone in Omagh with 13 men. Monaghan beat Roscommon in Kiltoom last year when the rossies had a stronger panel with the likes of the Dalys,Cathal Cregg,Neill Collins etc

[Main Street]

Kiltoom, we'll always have Kiltoom!

Generally Monaghan have done well in the games played in Inniskeen. The Tyronies got skelped there and are still moaning about it.
Playing at home eases an amount of the pre-match anxiety that Monaghan supporters would have playing against the Rossies

I see Mcstay is firing back at Gay Sherrans comments during the week and rightfully so.Sherrans comments were extremely ignorant and clueless and if fellows like him have any say in the running of GAa affairs in Ros then they are truly fooked.

I thought the same but there seems to be a right few eejits running around Roscommon. Bringing a guys county of birth into the discussion says more about Sheerin than anything else.

Gay's comments were completely over the top and out of order, and unfortunately distracted from the valid points he was trying to make. Really 11:30 pub talk. That said, McStay did too much crying about it. This is a man who after winning the All-Ireland no less with Brigids had a go at the Armagh ref, implying he could not be partial because Bridgits defeated Crossmaglen in the semi-final. It came from the exact same illogical place that made Sheerin proclaim McStay's heart could not be in Roscommon job because he was from Mayo. So less crying to your friend Marty Kevin and do something about our sieve-like defending.

[Rossfan]

At least he recognised Paddy Brogan's existence yesterday even if only for the last 6 or 7 minutes.
Paddy will hopefully plug one hole in the sieve.
Is Featherstone injured or have management decided he failed?
Forget Seànie at CHB.
Of course there are 3 Dalys sitting at home while Ian Kilbride who is in Lebanon till April got a place on the NFL squad of 30.
The NFL ends 2nd April.
Pity Gay didn't just stick to criticism of tactics, selections, dropping lads etc and leave out the personal stuff.
Seems the management are now blanking Shannonside. So will that mean a new sponsor for the SFC??

[Farrandeelin]

Ros could use the park the bus tactic.

It was far easier to understand why a manger would be a bit put off by a ref from the club you just beat was reffing your next game. Hughes had a horrendous final whatever the reason and McStay even said he wasn't going to mention it had Brigids lost, which tells you it wasn't sour grapes but a genuine intention for fair play for whoever could've ended up in the same position in the future, it mattered feck all to him personally at that point.

Gay was just engaging in xenophobia. Maybe he's spent too much time in Kilmovee..

Gay forced McStay's hand and he was entirely right to respond, ffs I'd question how severely biased anyone is to colour his response to a serious attack on his character as crying to his mates.

"Too much time in kilmovee"

You're an awful c**k
